You can get some direct contact with the main team and stay up to date via our various news-channels.

Due to potential roadblocks with many hardware and service providers, we have come to the conclusion that it is necessary for us to change the public key prefix. Since we use the same prefix as bitcoin (“1”, “3” and “bc1”), we decided that Bitcore BTX should use the following new prefixes:

Wallets 1xxx -> 2xxx
Wallets 3xxx -> sxxx
Wallets bc1 -> btx

We would like to ask all Bitcore users to slowly but surely upgrade to the new system.
To do so, please follow these steps:1. Open your Bitcore core / Bitcore-QT wallet.
2. Create a backup of your wallet.dat and store it in a safe place. For example a USB-Stick that you later put in a safe-deposit box.
3. Download the latest wallet and replace the wallet.dat that will be created on startup with your old wallet.dat
4. Bitcore-QT will automatically create new public keys for your private keys, starting with 2xxx instead of 1xxx.
5. It is important to note, that you can only use your old public keys to send to other old addresses and vis versa - you can send only to the new format from the new format. The address formats are not interchangeable.
Please note that the private keys are in no way affected by this change. Any private key is fully compatible with both the old formatting as well as the new one.

We also want to inform you that there’s no rush to update, we set a timeframe of 3 months in which we want to complete the transition. After this period bitcore core 0.16 will be released which will only use the new public keys.
If you have any questions feel free to ask here in the forum or on our numerous social media and telegram channels. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1883902.msg40724430#msg40724430 for a full link list.

went to one of the legendary Irish Pubs and were then completely wowed by the endless flatscreens and billboards on Time Square.

The U.S. really seems to be the land of endless possibilities, so with full self-confidence we went to the event.

The event itself was actually a ICOs and Security Tokens event. If you think this event has nothing to do with our Bitcore, you are mistaken.

Because of the fact that we were the ONLY Coin there, we managed to make some very beneficial contacts.

The reason we went there in the first place is because most ICO’s don’t have actual projects, meaning they need the best marketing to make it. And as we all know Bitcore can use some professional marketing.

We were able to get an interview with “Cliff on Crypto” and also had extensive discussions with marketing agencies from China and Japan. We had an hours long talk with the agency from China.

We are in daily contact with them and a successful WeChat group is emerging.

Besides the marketing opportunities we met with a Korean company; they have an ingenious hardware wallet in credit card format and we are exploring a potential potential partnership with them.

We would like to thank the organiser Moe Levin and are really looking forward to another event on American soil.

As a crypto enthusiast himself, he helps spread the word about Bitcore in Casinos and live events. The poker community has a history of being very closely connected with the cryptocurrency community for a few years now.
So creating awareness for Bitcore is the best thing that can happen to us right now.

Additionally Manuel is a well known figure in the poker industry and we will hopefully be able to create some cooperations with poker companies and casinos.

We will keep you updated on Manuel’s poker journey and the contacts he is helping us establish. We are already planning some marketing in Casinos and similar events for BTX in the near future.
Stay tuned.

https://bitcore.cc/bitcore-btcm-2018-in-essen-blockchainhotel-de/#commentsWed, 30 May 2018 12:24:15 +0000https://bitcore.cc/?p=2681The event in Essen is one of our yearly highlights, we are always very curious to see what’s in store for us.

The Essen BTCM2018, organised by team Blockchainhotel.de, invited an exceptional group of guests this year. (https://www.blockchainhotel.de/konferenz/#speaker). A unique mix of Bitcoin Core developers, Amir Taaki, Winheller, Jörg Platzer, the world’s first Bitcoin acceptance point in the Room77 catering area,
President of Liberland Vit Jedlicka, Coindeveloper, press like BTC-Echo and countless others made this event a real hit.

We had 2 speaker slots on Friday; 1 in German and 1 in English. Our topics were “Bitcore” (a general presentation) presented by Ivo Nijenhuis and “Differences between Bitcoin and Bitcore” presented by Steve Müller. In his presentation Ivo spoke about future
developments, in particular the FIAT Gateway and BTXM’s. The BTXM and the General Bytes integration sparked so much interest that even the press (BTC-Echo) became curious and promptly recorded a short presentation. Be on the lookout for their video blog.

The focus on Saturday was networking. It was a nice sunny day on the roof terrace, there were some scheduled panel discussions and lots of casual conversations. The atmosphere was very friendly, everyone tries to help each other along and there’s little competion among each other, in the end we are all team crypto.

As always, the days are much to short on these events!

At the end of the day the Bitcoinsongs by Cryptoraptor and Bitcoin Rat bring us some fun and relaxation. Cryptoraptor promised us to include bitcore in his next songs.

We would like to thank Gideon and Gökhan, the organisation of the event, for their effort in making BTCM 2018 a huge success.
